Cairo Fashion Report

It's amazing how the fashion scene is flourishing and growing more and more each day, trying to restore its glorious days. I am so glad that a lot of blogs, digital fashion magazines are making a strong scene and trying hard to prove to the world how fashionable the Egyptians are becoming, and how talented our designers are. Cairo Fashion Report started off as a Facebook page, sharing fashion news, events, videos and reposting some of the Egyptian blog posts, but now and after a whole year they decided to turn it in a free monthly fashion paper publishing news, features and interviews, editorial photo shoot, shopping guide and classifieds.

The launch issue will be 16 pages, printing for the launch 2000 copies that will be distributed in several select locations around Cairo. The issue will also be available for free viewing on issuu.com and will be soon downloadable as well for ipads, Also content will be shared on the facebook page and on their upcoming blog http://cairofashionreport.blogspot.com/

I had an exclusive look at the first issue, and I really liked so much, I loved how it's diverse featuring different subjects and how they are high-lightening everything that's new and cool in the local fashion industry.

Photo Diary: Rome Day 1 and 2

Hey girls, as promised finally I am posting some of my mini euro trip. I went to Rome and Amsterdam, it wasn't my first time to visit these countries, but it's my first time in Rome and my first time to go to Amsterdam with my husband, the previous times was with my friends. I took over 3000 photos in this trip, so I will share just few ones here.

Our first stop was Rome, I have been several times to Italy before, because I am like obsessed with this country, but surprisingly it was y first time to visit Rome.
Refreshing my language, I used to study Italian years ago

We only had our boarding through the first class :(  haha

we walked a lot, had to rest before heading to the Vatican


First stop was the Vatican museum, it was breathtaking and huge. We spent more than 4 hours inside it.
